First Place: Theme: Cemetery by Second Place: :thumb328591351: Theme: Cemetery by Third Place: Theme: Haunted forest by Congratulations and thanks to all that participated and voted! Prizes donators will be notified and prizes will be distributed as soon as possible.

Instructions:

1. You must be a member of the group, if you're not a member and want to participate, click the join button!2. Sign up for this contest, by simply commenting here saying that you wish to participate. I will then note you with a certain theme revolving around Halloween that I have picked for you at random. I have made a secret list of these themes and wish for them to remain secret so don't reveal anything until you submit your entry. There are only 15 themes, so there are chances that more than one person will get the same theme. This time I will not allow redraws, so the theme you get is what you get.3. Next read the rules of this contest.

Rules:

1. Once you have received your secret theme, it's time to start drawing or writing. In order for entry to be accepted, it must feature Hidan as the main character, and must surround the Halloween theme that I have given you. The more creative you are in utilizing your theme, the more likely you will be to win. You are allowed to add other Naruto characters and/or OCs, as well as other elements of Halloween of your choosing, but Hidan and your main halloween theme must be the main focuses, so that the other elements don't dominate over your main ideas. 2. Fanart, fanfictions, and fan-comic/doujinshi are allowed, but for fanfictions, keep them at a max of 5,500 words. As for fan-comics, keep them constrained to one page only. 3. Keep all entries rated K-T, meaning keep gore to a minimum, and no full on sexual content. All ages of our members must be able to see each entry4. This must be a new entry specifically for this contest, make sure that is written in the artist's comments of your deviation. 5. No bases allowed.6. Absolutely no stolen artwork, or you will be disqualified and kicked out of the group. 7. You may make up to three different entries, one for each of the three categories (I.E. Fanart, Fanfic, Fan-Comic). However, only one of your entries may make the top three. 8. All entries are to be submitted to the "Current Contests" folder by the deadline on November 30th at midnight. I will only make an extension in case of emergencies (I.E. if someone needs just a little more time due to time constraints in RL, or if there are not enough entries near the time of the deadline.)

Voting Rules:

1. Voting will be done via notes by members to the group. Voting will open up as soon as I announce it in the group journal.2. I ask that voters read any and all fanfiction carefully, before placing their votes. Sometimes writing can paint more powerful imagery than a picture.3. When voting, label the note "vote" and in the body, simply give the title of the entry and the link to it. 4. Entrants may vote, but not for themselves to keep things fair.5. Entrants are not allowed to publicly or secretly recruit voters to vote for them. Equally important is for all voters to disregard all popularity or friendship towards and entrant, and to vote simply for the piece that has been best executed artistically and creatively while also following the theme they were given. Entrants discovered to be recruiting voters may be disqualified. 6. Voting will take place for two weeks, or as long as it takes to get enough votes in to declare a clear top three winners.
